DESCRIPTION:Hear Nancy MacLean talk about her book\,\nDEMOCRACY IN CHAINS
\nSUNDAY\, NOVEMBER 19\, 4PM\nSource Booksellers\n4240 Cass Avenue\, Det
roit\n\nBooklist calls Democracy in Chains “perhaps the best explanation
to date of the roots of the political divide that threatens to irrevoca
bly alter American government.” The Guardian said: “It’s the missing cha
pter: a key to understanding the politics of the past half century.” It
is a finalist for the National Book Award.\n\nIn Democracy in Chains\, M
acLean traces the history of the radical right’s thought in the United S
tates\, outlining their campaigns to privatize everything from public ed
ucation to Social Security. She begins her story in the 1950s\, as the c
ivil rights movement is fighting to desegregate the public schools\, and
follows the career of political economist James McGill Buchanan as he h
ooks up with various wealthy libertarians\, most particularly Charles Ko
ch. For this reason\, her book and scholarship has come under attack by
the radical right.\n\nMacLean is the immediate past president of the Lab
or and Working Class History Association and author of Behind the Mask o
f Chivalry: The Making of the Second Ku Klux Klan and Freedom is Not Eno
ugh: The Opening of the American Workplace.\n\nFollowing her talk\, Nanc
y MacLean will sign copies of Democracy in Chains\, available at Source
Booksellers.\n\nImported from: http://detroit.activatehub.org/events/162
